Hi Peg, Actually there are sources of genuine animal-skin parchment on the web. One on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/p6xstfy. It's probably worth $5 to see how it does. There were others. Search in Google for "real parchment for sale".
It will be interesting to hear how it goes, since the surface may be a significantly texture than modern materials.

I read they used parchment as the base. Any ideas where I can find some heavy enough to use for this purpose? All I've been able to find is either the kind you cook with, or parchment paper for calligraphy. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
